I To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, DOMINICK ZEMBORSKI, a citizen of Poland, residing at Carthage, in the county of Hancock and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Burnishing- Wheel, of which the following is a specification.

It is the object of this invention to provide a burnishing wheel and auxiliary burnishers and tools therefor, whereby the dif ferent operations necessary in the finishing of a shoe or boot, may be carried forward by means of a single device,

Another object of the invention is to provide a burnishing wheel of novel and improved form, to provide novel means for assembling auxiliary burnishing elements and tools therewith; and to provide novel means for mounting the burnishing wheel upon a driving element.

In the drawings,Figui-e 1 is a side elevation Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section; Fig. 3 is an end elevation; and Fig. 4 is a side elevation of a plurality of shoe-working elements which may be successively assembled with the burnishing wheel proper.

The burnishing wheel consists of a shank 1, a neck 2, and a disk 3, outstanding beyond the shank 1 and neck 2, the shank, the neck and the disk being integrally formed. That end wall of the disk 3 which is disposed adjacent the neck is inclined, as shown at 4. The burnishing wheel is provided with a central opening 5, adapted to receive a shaft 6. A screw 7 inserted into the shank 1 of the burnishing wheel, engages the shaft 6, to hold the burnishing wheel in place upon the shaft 6, for rotation therewith. That end of the shaft-receiving opening 5 which is located within the diminished neck 2 is threaded as denoted by the numeral 10, to receive the threaded end of a tubular holder 11. In the wall of this tubular holder 11 there is a longitudinally disposed slot 12. The holder 11 is adapted to receive a plurality of auxiliary burnishers, one of which is shown mounted in place in Fig. 1, the other auxiliary burnishers being shown in Fig. 4. The auxiliary burnisher to which the numeral 14 is applied in Fig. 1, is adapted to be employed for burnishing the edges of soles. This auxiliary burnisher 14 is provided with a terminal head 15, and in the shank of the auxiliary burnisher 14 there are a plurality of longitudinally extended grooves 16, the shank of the burnisher 14 I being diminished slightly in diameter adjacent the head 15, as clearly shown in Fig. 1.

The auxiliary burnisher 14 may be replaced by the tool 18, shown in Fig. 4. This tool 18 is adapted to be employed for imitating the stitching in soles. The tool 18 is provided with a terminal head 19, the periphery of which is notched as shown at 20.

The tool 21 may be employed to decorate.

the bottoms of soles. The head 22 of the tool 21 is somewhat thinner than the head 19 of the tool 18, the head 22 being peripherally notched, as shown at 23. The burnisher to which the numeral 24 is applied in Fig. 4, is adapted to be employed for. burnishing shanks. The burnisher 24 has a terminal head 25, the shank of the burnisher being diminished in diameter adjacent the head 25 and being longitudinally slotted as shown at 26.

A screw 17 is mounted in the slot 12, this screw being adapted to register in openings 30 in the several burnishers and the tools. The burnishers and the tools may be slid longitudinally in the holder 11, to accommodate difi'erent thicknesses of shoe soles, and when the head 31 which is mounted upon the exposed end of the screw 17, is rotated into bearing upon the holder 11, it will be seen that the several burnishers and the tools will be held against longitudinal sliding movement, these elements being, of course held by means of the screw 17, for rotation with the holder 11.

In the periphery of the disk 3, are a plurality of V shaped slots 27, there being like-- wise, V shaped slots 28 in the periphery of the neck 2. Theslots 27, however, coming to a more defined point, than the slots 28. In the inclined end face 4 of the disk 3, are a plurality of slots 29, the slots 29 being angularly disposed with respect to the radii of the burnishing wheel, as will be clearly seen from an inspection of Fig. 3 of the drawings. The periphery of the disk 3, together with the periphery of the neck 2 and the inclined wall 4, constitute means for burnishing the heels of the shoes.

It will be seen that the device is so constructed that the heels of a shoe may be properly burnished, whereupon the soles of the shoe may be burnished, decorated and otherwise manipulated, the entire operation being carried out without changing from one machine to another. The auxiliary burnishers and the tools may be successively mounted in the holder 11, in order to carry out the ends for Which these elements are peculiarly adapted.

Having thus described the invention, What is claimed is A burnishing Wheel having an opening for the reception of a shaft; a holder secured to the Wheel in one end of said opening, and adapted to serve as an abutment for the shaft upon Which the burnishing Wheel is mounted; an auxiliary shoeworking element adapted to be mounted in the holder; and means for clamping said element in the holder.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature inthe presence of two Witnesses.

DOMINICK ZEMBORSKI.
